Julian H. Robertson, legendary hedge fund manager and philanthropist, has invested heavily in his 40-year love affair with New Zealand. Together with his late wife, Josie, and their family, Julian has created three of Asia-Pacific’s most feted luxury lodges and two of the very best golf courses in the world.

The Tiger Tour is Julian’s personal vision of how discerning travellers can best experience his favourite destination and meet the people who make New Zealand so special.

He invites you to see and experience this country as he sees it, and discover the immense charm of New Zealand’s diverse, beguiling landscape. This boutique, luxury tour provides an opportunity to make memories that are not possible within any single country anywhere else in the world.

The Tiger Tour connects guests (via private air and EC-130 B4 helicopter) with some of the most unique, contrasting, untouched scenery on Earth, from private pink-sand beaches and spectacular volcanoes, to lakes, mountains and monolithic glaciers.

To all of this, The Tiger Tour adds an extra-special component: the unique, disarming charm of your Kiwi hosts.
